FUTURE][Post Six Months - first day back
Her first day back.
Annie knew that she shouldn't have been self-conscious, but she was. Hyper-aware that she was going to be on display for everyone to see, she'd dressed in her best, but left all her jewelry at home save for her plain gold wedding band.
Clay had offered to carpool, and she'd taken him up on the offer. The second set of keys to the Aston Martin were in her purse, just in case. If necessary, he could get a ride home from his security detail, he'd told her, and she was grateful that he'd thought that far enough in advance for her.
The two of them had plans to meet at eleven for coffee, as usual, and she made it to 10:58 before having a panic attack.
One of the newest agents, someone Annie had met only once before leaving on her six month mission, came up behind her and touched her in the center of her back. Her face went white and, for a moment, she couldn't breathe.
